lyrics

If the Son of God came down for this
He’d be called a filthy socialist
And trampled by a nationalist mob
That wouldn’t spend a single cent
To prevent another quiet death
That ain’t no way to worship in America

Got your free speech and your Russian guns
Keep you safe until your savior comes
That pseudo-prophetic internet demagogue
It’s common war, uncommon means
If you just look closer then you’ll see
The patterns in the white noise, plain and visible

Who are you going to believe
Bad faith actor safe behind the scenes
How can you be so sure of anything

It’s a bad day or a parlor trick
Can’t say domestic terrorist
Won’t avert your eyes from the Reptilian
Christchurch, Cold Lake, copycat
Happy meal, pat on the back
Two worlds, two sides clash and then repeat again

Who are you going to believe
Bad faith actor safe behind the scenes
How can you be so sure of anything
